IMPROVEMENT IN `:METHOD OIEA WEAVING- GALLOON.

The Schedule referred to in thesel Letters Patent and making part of the same.

13e it known that l, JACOB Kuurne, of the it-y ot' Philadelphia, in the eounty of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented anew and usei'al lmprtwement in Yeavix xg Galleon; and l hereb' declare that the following is a full, clear, andrexaetdescription thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, maltingpart of this specification. in,

when l want to weave galloon 'with raised pile-loops, I'

use a eertain number'of strands S SS, (see drawings tempest-dwf horse;liair, or other suitable material, which are so arranged as to pass through the reed O of the loom, and whieh are fastened in ii'ont'of the loom to the receiving-roller l, and on the other sideot' -the looin to the 'feeding-roller l).

At thatend these horse-hairs are tiedtogether in the shape of a knot, but toward the fi'ontot` the loom,

they are separated, by the reed O, in to a. number of strands,as far from each other astlie d esignsof the galloon to be woven will require. l

Suppose. the design shows three raised loops 1i K l( at the side of each other, aerossthe top ofthe gall on, and the size o'fone of' these raised loops requires the thickness often horse-hairs to form the eye, or the interior of the loop, then thirty horse-hairs have to be usedV altogether, or, in other words, the number of' horse-hairs, or their substitutes, which has to be used,

depends npon the size of the pile-loops-to be produced,

and upon the mnnber of the loops, at the side of each other, on the top ofthe galloon.

In order to explain thoroughly my new method of weaving galioon with raised pile-loops on the top, I proceed to describe its practical operation. One ease will illust-rate all others.y

When I want to weave a ga-lloon with three loops, I use forty-six threads of' fine organzine silk, to form the chain. This chain is divided into twenty-three parts by the reed O, through which it passes.

For better illustration vl will suppose that these twenty-three parts ofthe chain were designated by the numbers '1, 2, 3, 4,5, (i, 7,` S, 9, 10, 1], 12, 13, 14,15, ,16, 1i', 18, J9, 20, 21, 22, and 23, and the horse-hair strands by S S" S2. f

First. Chain Nos. l, 3, 5, and 7,and horse-hair strand S, are lifted up by the jaequard. 'Ihe shuttle with a small spool in it filled with sewing-silk, traverses from right to left. The shed is closed, and the shuttle then returns to the right again, passing over the strands and threads, without weaving any part thereof. Theehain Nos. J and 11 and the horse-hair strands S S are liften n p by the jacquard-maehine, and the shuttle passes from the right to the left. In this manner the first loop is made. K

Second. 'lhe whole (chain, witlrail the borsehair strings, is then evened in the regula-r` position by the jacquard, and the shuttle passes from the left to the ,right above the strandsand threads without weaving.

.Now ehain Nos. 13 and 15 and the horse-hair strands S are lifted upl and the shuttle passes ti'om the right to theflef't. made. f

Third. The whole chain and-all the strands are then evened intheir regular position, andthe shuttle returns from the left to the right over them.- Now, chain Nos l?, 19, 21, and 23, and strand S2 are lifted up by the jacquard. left. ,ln this manner the third loop is finished.

After this is done, the chain Nos. 2, 4, (i, S, 10, 12, I4, 1U, 18, 20, and 22, and the strands S S S2 are lifted up by the machine, the ehain Nos. 1, 3, 5, i', 9, 1l, 13,

l5, 17, it), 21, and 23 remaining below, or in their regular position. 'Ihe shuttle then passes'through from the left to the right. This is the general binding shoot,

whieh brings -the loopsV formed by the previous operations in one straight line. I I

What l elaiin as my invention, and desire to secure ,by Letters Patent, is-

Ihe method herein described ofweaving galloon,

and raising thereon pile-loops, formed by laying thel weft-threads around strands of horse-hair, or equiva-` lent material, substantially as set forth.
